Chasing 177, South Africa looked dominant thanks to Heinrich Klaasen\u2019s explosive middle-over assault. But India, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, made a stunning comeback in the death overs, with Arshdeep Singh playing a crucial role as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A turning point came when Suryakumar Yadav pulled off a breathtaking catch at the boundary to dismiss David Miller, sealing India\u2019s dramatic victory. Virat Kohli top-scored for India with a composed 76 off 59 balls as India posted 176\/7 after being asked to bat first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marking the one-year anniversary of the historic win, Rohit Sharma opened up about the intense emotions he experienced on the day of the final. \u201cThirteen years is a long time to wait. I was so nervous, I couldn\u2019t feel my legs. I woke up early and just kept staring at the ground from my room,\u201d Rohit recalled in an interview with JioHotstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/index.php\/2025\/06\/28\/sri-lankan-cricketers-most-test\/\">Despite contributing only 9 runs in the final, Rohit had a strong tournament overall with 257 runs. The win came just months after India\u2019s painful loss to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, making the T20 triumph even sweeter for the team and its captain.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;Didn&#8217;t want rain to interfere&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-124.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1774\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-124.png 600w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-124-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rohit Sharma, who retired from T20Is after leading India to their long-awaited ICC title in 2024, has fondly looked back at the unforgettable T20 World Cup final in Barbados. As the one-year anniversary of the triumph arrives, the Indian skipper revealed just how emotional and nerve-wracking the day had been for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite maintaining a composed exterior, Rohit admitted he was overwhelmed by the pressure and emotions. \u201cI wasn\u2019t talking to anyone. I was sipping coffee, just hoping the rain wouldn\u2019t interrupt the game,\u201d he recalled. Rain had been forecast, and the thought of the match being pushed to a reserve day only heightened his anxiety. \u201cI couldn\u2019t wait another day to go through the same emotions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rohit also shared that he constantly visualised lifting the trophy and bringing an end to India\u2019s 11-year ICC title drought. &#8220;I was nervous but determined. Everyone in the team looked relaxed, but I knew the expectations of a billion people were on our shoulders. At 7:30 PM in India, everyone was watching.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India had beaten England in the semi-final to reach the final, where they edged out South Africa by seven runs in a gripping contest. The victory was India&#8217;s first ICC title since 2013. Following the win, stalwarts Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja all retired from T20 internationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/index.php\/2025\/06\/29\/west-indies-coach-daren-sammy\/\">\u201cBarbados will forever be in my veins. This is by far the best moment in my cricketing career,\u201d Rohit concluded, cementing his legacy as one of India\u2019s most successful white-ball captains.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sign up fast for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/\">e2bet77<\/a>\u00a0now and claim your free bonus with your first registration!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rohit Sharma reflected on India\u2019s T20 World Cup triumph, calling it the \u201cbest moment\u201d of his cricketing career.
